■Stocks on SMGs no longer allow a player to move faster while ADS than when moving normally??
so there is no point off using stock on a smg anymore? i dont get it
Like or Dislike:

The walking speed is 100%. The stock on SMG’s allowed you to move 103% (ish) speed when ADS. This allowed people to get places faster all while being ready for a gun-fight. I believe it’s back down to 100% now so it’s still a great attachment choice.

No. Before this patch, when you had a stock attached to an SMG, you would actually move FASTER than your normal walking/running speed while ADS because of the stock. Pretty funny that they overlooked this minor detail
Simply put, the stock is still useful! Hope this helped.

I shouldnt be killed by someone with a 25kg sniper 2metres away by him spamming noscopes, I have no problem with ‘proper’ sniping but this no-skill-needed quick/noscoping that is prevalent with the DVU is stupid. any gun should always beat sniper up close…

Yeah… Any gun should beat a sniper up close… I agree about the gun beating sniper up close part. I think the snipers are perfectly fair its just you… Can kill a single shot gun with a machine gun. Its not the over powered snipers its you. And quick scoping is at least 8x harder then running around with a machine gun…

Just ran through all the fixes and yet nothing to fix the lag issues.. nothing that fixes the shot registration.. hmmm instead of working on the real problems you add extra crap.. nerf weapons.. upgrade others.. and fact you set a rate on how many bullets someone can take to the head and live is bs! M27 real life I wana see you shoot someone in the head and live. I know this game isn’t realistic but come on man a hs is 1 shot kill everyone knows. You should focus on having the game run smoothly, lag is either limited or none, stop being cheap and buy servers we pay you enough to afford it, the hitboxes need to be actual size of characters one and two your hit detection is so bad its not even funny. Go take a look at counter strike for a really old game the hit detection and hitboxes are ten times better! All this new technology and your games are getting worse.. thanks for the new zombie map though its a blast. As for the new zombie mode love the concept. Just overall sucks. To small. If anything don’t change how you get weapons etc just change starting money. Also make the maps transit for it and for die rise plus add like atleast like 16 players to the mode would be hell of a lot more fun thanks. Just my opinion for zombies etc and of many others.

I have a decent K\D of a 2.38 and a win\lose of over 8ish. I don’t understand why they nerfed the fal due to the over use of sub machine guns for every map. Most of the sub machine guns make kills quicker long range than almost every assault rifle. They didn’t need to nerf the FAL just the target finder on any gun. Yes everyone can use the target finder but it takes skill to use other sights than to just sit in a corner and wait for a red box to pop up and spam your gun at it. Plus when i count the number of hits I put into someone using a red dot and they are using the same gun with a target finder. The target finder seems to make peoples hitbox bigger which in return takes no skill when they are shooting your elbow while you are pelting their head with a red dot. Which brings me to two more gripes, one being the dropshot hit marker glitch, and just the hit markers in general.

Oh yea one more thing FIX THE SPAWN SYSTEM! I’m tired of getting dumped on by making a kill or two in a row to only find them 10 ft behind me or in front of me. or running into a spot where no one was spawning at to only have 3-4 spawn in front of your face.

If you are good you don’t even need the select fire on the FAL it only increased the recoil with select fire and you really shouldn’t be hip firing with that gun anyway, extremely small nerf.

Treyarch sucks, seriously.. they made enough money to not give a s**t about REAL problems. (Freezing, Lag comp, ect.) The Call Of Duty franchise went from a FPS, to a game any 12 year old can pick up and play. To any one experiencing constant freezing problems like me, you are totally f**ked in the ass. Treyarch wont waste their time on loyal customers who cant play the game instead they will nerf/buff guns at their own leisure. They dont care what their customers say, as long as it seems that they are making some sort of effort. A few years from now COD will turn into a T or even E rated game, takin over by squeakers. I really hope 3ARC’s next game sales drop significantly, it would make all my frustrations with this game worth it. I also hope i can actually play MW4 when it comes out, Infinity Ward is way better. DONT BUY 3ARC’s NEXT GAME.

if they nerf the remmington then they shud nerf snipers and remove qs’ing and make the snipers two shots to the body to kill no matter what attchments u have, the only way u shud be able to one shot with a sniper is a headshot. a shotgun is supposed to be one shot kill up close thats why its a shotgun.
